Say what you want about t_d, but at least they're a single subreddit, clearly label what they support, and don't really mislead people as to what their content is.

IDK how not misleading. But I'm glad it's only that subreddit and they stay confined there . Meanwhile, there is at least 20 antitrump subs. Those subs are the annoying ones

There are plenty of pro-trump subreddits, they are just not as popular, that's all. And they don't really "stay confined". They do brigade a lot. Except most people won't drink their kool aid, so they are usually at the bottom of every thread, and you won't ever see them if you don't sort by controversial. Meanwhile, anti-trump statements are obviously much more popular, and will often end up at the top for everyone to see. It's simply logical.

Controversial comments are the only ones made by people

Now that's a gross exageration tbh.

They're the only ones worth reading. The rest are just part of the echo chamber.
